Israel To Start "Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contest"

Israel - An Israeli cartoonist has launched an "anti-Semitic cartoon contest" to poke fun at fellow Jews in response to furore among Muslims over the publication of caricatures of Mohammad.
The cartoonist said he was inspired by violent Muslim protests and the launching of a Holocaust cartoon competition by an Iranian daily that said it wanted to test the boundaries of free speech espoused by Western countries.
"We thought it would be a much braver thing to do, to publish cartoons about ourselves, rather than our adversaries," He said. "We want to fight fire with humor." "We will show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published,"
There will be no limitations on cartoons entries other than that they be witty, he added.
The newspaper said it was holding the contest to test the boundaries of free speech.
